The survey is conducted on behalf of the
Maritime

discharges of oil, noxious liquid substances and garbage from all types of
vessels and offshore oil and gas installations. The survey report describes the
different categories and types of reported discharges together with their
locations and estimated volumes. Additional details are provided on
prosecutions brought by the competent authorities with background information on
events related to larger incidents.
